Sonu Nigam

Last year, Sonu had landed himself in controversy when he sang on board a flight following request from fellow passengers. The incident resulted in the airline suspending five crew members for letting the 42-year-old use the plane's public announcement system. When the news reached Sonu, he had described the airline's decision to suspend crew members as "real intolerance."
